Several days ago, I had a shampoo bottle in the basket at a supermarket. A woman was promoting shampoos and conditioners of a different brand and approached me. I said, “But I have a matching conditioner.” She asked me to repeat myself by saying “Excuse me?” “I have a matching conditioner at home,” I said again. “But that is not a conditioner” was her reply.
This afternoon, I was rushing for an appointment. I took a taxi and said to the driver, “Forum shopping center, Orchard.” He started the car and said, “Holland shopping center…” “No, no. Forum, Orchard,” I repeated. After a few second, he said, “Funan shopping center...”
How can I make myself understood in this country?
